Found that in about 30 secs from the OpenStack site.

Did you actually deploy the stack? That's the metric we're after.

I got it going on a box for evaluation purposes by following this guide. http://docs.openstack.org/icehouse/install-guide/install/apt...

It took a few hours of following the instructions to the letter but everything worked first time and it's fairly par for the course in terms of installing a complex bit of software.

Agreed. It's difficult at times, but it's completely reasonable for the level of software.

I am going through a complex install at the moment, and I am sitting in IRC with openstack developers to help solve issues.

I've done that with many packages in my life, so I don't think that's odd, but to be fair.. I have no idea how I'd be progressing without asking individuals in IRC on specific points.

Yes, about 3 months ago. On 16 HP DL380s. Testing a number of vendor apps in our engineering lab.
